Grab a BlackBerry DTEK50 from Amazon Canada for only $289

Before Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Amazon Canada had a nice deal going for the DTEK50 where you could pick one up for only $279 CAD. That deal quickly ran out, then the price jumped, then it came back at $289 and then it disappeared for a bit and now, it's back once again.

Grab a BlackBerry DTEK50 from Amazon Canada for only $289

Sorry Prem but the Mercury is going to Bomb, no one will buy it. BB should cancel this phone and then just do the right thing and license future phone production. The bad part is since it's in house if it doesn't sell there will be an other big revenue miss, and the SP will tank.

Just read an article on how horrible it is to work for Amazon at their distribution centres. Next time you order your cheap phone, spare a thought for the poor guy running around to get it, being GPS tracked by his boss.

Waiting for the Christmas and Boxing Day deals. Something tells me even Shop BlackBerry is about to drop the price again on the DTEK50. Probably even the device's current price point of $429 will soon have an overall, permanent drop...

The Dtek50 is an excellent device. Got one for my mom on black Friday and I was really impressed, I'm on a Dtek60 right now but the Dtek50 is a great phone. For all of you on a Z10 or Z30 give it a try this was what we were waiting for. And at this price it is a win win opportunity.

Ya I wish they had a deal on the dtek60 but I just couldn't wait and ordered myself one from ShopBB. The way I see it, you're getting a premium phone with specs to match for half or 2/3 price of Galaxy 7 or pixel depending on model..and you get the extra BlackBerry touches they don't have.
( I know, it's cheaper because it doesn't have gorilla glass, not waterproof, and other minor things)
I am really happy with the purchase...also can't go wrong with a free case and rapid charger

The S7 and the iPhone are marketed as water resistant. But tons of people are fooled to think that means waterproof. They are not waterproof. Leave one in a bucket of water for 15 minutes and you'll find out. Marketing is such hype and BS but so many people buy into it.
